John Cronyn gives up the game, claims debunking Trump's lies is leak of 'classified info'
Following Thursdays meetings about documents related to the ongoing criminal investigation of the Trump campaign ones where Trumps lawyer and chief of staff made highly unusual appearances House Intelligence Committee ranking member Adam Schiff (D-CA) released a statement saying no evidence was presented supporting President Trumps assertions about FBI spies being embedded in his campaign.
A short time later, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) accidentally gave away the cynical game Trumps Republican supporters are playing. In a tweet, Cornyn accused Schiff of leaking classified information by attempting to debunk Trumps lies.
Isnt this a leak of classified information? Cornyn wrote, in response to Schiffs statement.
Steven Dennis of Bloomberg responded to Cornyn by asking, How can it be classified info if there was no such info? But Cornyn dismissed the question, characterizing Schiffs statement as Spin based on classified information. Still classified.
